Abstract

This review paper analyzes significant studies in learning style and e-Learning fields in order to synthesize an answer to the question “Does considering learning styles improve e-Learning performance especially for K-12 mathematics education?”. Included studies can be categorized into the following topics: learning style models, learning style detection methods, considering learning styles in traditional education and e-Learning, considering learning styles in K-12 mathematics education. The review shows that applying different teaching methods for different learning styles could actually help a K-12 student understand a mathematics subject better.
